About Us

CEA is a national award winning organization committed to building a safe, healthy and sustainable future for all. Our work is inspired by the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals.

What does CEA do?

Founded in 2003, Community Environment Alliance has since been delivering innovative programs and services embracing the principle of sustainable community development adhering to millennium development goals.

We focus on providing holistic, client focused programs and services that address two critical pillars of poverty – digital insecurity and food insecurity. We also take a holistic approach to alleviating poverty and improving community well-being by exploring the links between human well-being, poverty and eco-system services.

🤝 Build e-inclusive society and break the cycle of poverty.

Digital insecurity, like food insecurity, is a serious issue grappling our communities. We are committed to reducing the digital divide between the ‘have-more and have-less’ and building an e-inclusive society where everyone, regardless of their financial or circumstantial situation, are able to access the benefits of technology and tools to better their lives. We believe that every child, every adult, every student and every senior in our community must have the opportunity to access, learn and advance digital technology to participate effectively in today’s digital economy. To that end our flagship Share IT Computers for Community program provides customized reconditioned computers, printers and software along with technical support, cyber safety training and digital literacy support to low income families, students and children with special needs to enable them to transition to a better tomorrow.

🍊 Enhance community health and access to food.

We believe that a healthy community is one where Individuals are valued, families are nurtured, and community members are engaged in shaping the future; where everyone, irrespective of their financial situation, is able to access and afford healthy and nutritious food; where children grow up in a safe and supported environment surrounded by positivity and hope and where seniors are able to live an active, healthy and independent lifestyle. We believe that a community is as healthy as the physical, emotional and cognitive health of people living there. Core program and services include ActHeal Community Wellness program and Healthy Food Baskets for low-income families, seniors and newcomers facing food insecurity issues that are delivered weekly year round.

🌿 Inspire community engagement and stewardship to ensure a clean, green and healthy environment for all.

We believe that active community engagement is imperative to building a safe, healthy and sustainable community – because human health is directly influenced by the health of the surrounding environment that sustains our life and growth. Our stewardship actions include raising community awareness on indoor and outdoor air quality as it affects human health and the environment.

We take pride in our passion, and humbly acknowledge the support that we received from the community at large. CEA works with great respect and strong credibility within the community. We take the trust bestowed on us by our clients, partners, funders and supporters with utmost sincerity and respect.

The awards and recognition, including the media coverage that we have received over the years are from word of mouth only – which we believe is a strong testament to our passion, integrity, sincerity, and dedication for what we do.

CEA has a strong foundation of values that members of the team recognize and implement through service.
